Tight Knit is the fourth full-length album from Vetiver--singer/songwriter Andy Cabic's ever-evolving musical home base. Luminous and surprising, Tight Knit unfolds like a road trip down Highway 1, towards Cabic's home in San Francisco. It represents a summation of the different styles and directions heard on past Vetiver releases, while it introduces some unexpected twists.

"I think I was able to make the most of the different moods of each song," Andy confirms. "Several of the songs have been staples of Vetiver's live show for some time in much the same form as they appear on this recording. Other songs were given a last polishing in the studio. And a few songs were radically reworked from the way they were performed on the road."

"There are songs here that allude to elements of everything I've done so far, and songs that have something which heretofore I maybe only hinted at.">

Tight Knit will be released by Sub Pop on February 17th. Track #3 is available to downloads above. As far as upcoming shows, Vetiver have been confirmed as one of the many people playing SXSW in Austin this year. (Music: March 18-22).

I had got a dream to begin my organization, nevertheless I didn't have enough of money to do this. Thank goodness my close colleague proposed to take the personal loans. Hence I received the bank loan and made real my old dream.
